Summary "La guerre" by Camille Mauclair is a collection of essays and illustrations written during the early 20th century, likely amidst the backdrop of World War I. This work discusses the profound impact of war on art and society, particularly focusing on the works of artist Steinlen, who captured the human experience of suffering and heroism through his drawings and lithographs. The book seeks to convey the emotional and psychological aspects of warfare, while critiquing traditional representations of military conflicts in art. In the book, Mauclair reflects on the role of artists during the war, emphasizing how Steinlen's artwork transcends conventional military depictions. He highlights Steinlen’s ability to portray the stark realities of life on the front lines and the emotional turmoil experienced by soldiers and civilians alike. Mauclair argues that true art arises from genuine human experience and suffering rather than glorified battle scenes. This collection not only showcases illustrations but also critiques the inadequacies of traditional military paintings, advocating for a more profound understanding of war as a deeply social and emotional phenomenon. Through the lens of Steinlen's artistry, the work ultimately portrays war as a tragic testament to human resilience and shared suffering. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
